On July 26, 2019, Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services removed two boys from their parents’ care. A few months later, during which time the father died, a court ruled that the mother had failed to “parent in a consistent and predictable manner,” and did not have “safe or appropriate housing.” A judge agreed with DHHS that the mother had failed to “consistently meet the children’s medical needs,” according to a later court decision.
